Default is the OAT offered every M-F???


SDN Members don't see this ad. (About Ads)
First time registering for the OAT:

Do I apply then they will tell me whether I am eligible to take it?
Then, are there specific dates where it is offered, or is it offered every M-F?

They will email you a pin after you apply. It is offered year round, including weekends. I suggest taking it on a Saturday.

Once you have your PIN from applying to take the OAT, you go to a website where you can pick from a variety of locations for the test and see what days they have open. I don't think any Saturdays were available at the testing centers near me, so I think it just depends on the location. That or those ones booked up several months in advance (you only see what's left available when you log in). You should pick your date well in advance because they do book up and you end up kind of picking from what's leftover (if anything). Remember that there's a charge if you decide to change the date of your test after the first time you pick it. I can't remember how much.

On top of picking it in advance it almost gives you a sense of urgency or a goal to strive for instead of just studying for months not knowing when you need to take the test. Almost like it was a final you knew was coming up so you know exactly how much time you have to study for.
